Gu Rou suppressed the excitement in her heart and looked at Gu Yuan. “Dad, it’s not easy to make a decision about Sister. It might not be what we think.”
She was not speaking up for Gu Man, but she planned to pull the attention of the others back to Gu Man.
Sure enough, the argument just now stopped. Gu Yuan frowned and deliberated for a moment before saying, “Don’t act rashly for the time being. We’ll talk about other things after I test her tomorrow.”
The Gu family’s discussion temporarily ended, and Gu Man, who was upstairs, knew nothing about these things.
She looked at the message from Xia Tong on her cell phone and raised her eyebrows.
Initially, she was still wondering when Xia Tong would realize that something was wrong. She did not expect that it would take so long for her to come to a realization.
Xia Tong’s question appeared on the WeChat interface. “Why do you know so much?”
Even if Xia Tong deliberately wanted to find something to make up for Gu Man, she knew too many things and they were very detailed. She thought about it and spent the entire afternoon in the library, but she could not find any books that recorded what happened at that time.
Thinking of how she had added Gu Man’s contact details, she stopped letting her imagination run wild and came to ask her when she was free.
“It’s not a good thing to know too much. You should know this principle, right?” Gu Man did not intend to answer Xia Tong’s doubts.
Xia Tong naturally understood, but she was very unhappy with Gu Man’s answer. Thinking of Gu Man’s words today, she threatened, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away?”
“I left a tracking mark on you. No matter where you run to, I can find you. Of course, you can give it a try if you don’t believe me.” Even if it was just typing, Gu Man was extremely confident.
Her attitude made Xia Tong not dare to act rashly. Even if she did not discover anything special about herself, it seemed normal for Gu Man to know something better than her since she was stronger than her.
Xia Tong suppressed the thought in her heart and said, “Since you want something from me, you have to pay something, right? Otherwise, how can there be such a good thing as to gain something without risking anything of one’s own?”
“You’re the one at a disadvantage now, so don’t think about those baseless things. If I’m in a good mood, I might reveal some information to you.” After Gu Man sent this message, she didn’t plan to continue chatting with Xia Tong. She casually threw her phone aside and fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Gu Man had just turned on her cell phone when she realized that there were dozens of messages from Xia Tong. Her gaze stopped on the last one. It was Xia Tong’s exasperated expression. “No, you suddenly left without even saying anything?”
After this message, there were no other messages.
She casually scrolled up and realized that most of it was meaningless information. She threw her phone aside and ignored it.
After Gu Man packed up and got out of bed, she realized that no one in the huge Gu family had woken up at this time. They were really lazy.
She did not have breakfast at the Gu residence, and the servants of the Gu family did not prepare breakfast at this time. After her morning run, she went to a nearby breakfast shop.
However, she did not expect to meet Xiang Yin here.
Xiang Yin seemed to have expected her to come to this shop. He pushed the steaming porridge in front of Gu Man. “From the looks of it, you must have just finished exercising. Eat something to nourish your stomach.”
Gu Man stared in Xiang Yin’s direction with a complicated expression, but she did not reject his good intentions. She just stared at his face with a complicated gaze.
The two of them behaved as if Gu Man had never said those ruthless words yesterday.
Why could Xiang Yin pretend that nothing had happened while she took the initiative to suggest it? She was the most uneasy one.
She pulled out a chair and sat down. She realized that the taste of the porridge in front of her was also in line with her usual eating habits and looked at Xiang Yin in surprise.
She didn’t seem to have said anything about her eating habits, right? Why did Xiang Yin know so much about them? Could he have investigated these too?
